\n

American teenager Ilia Malinin landed the second ever quadruple axel in competition on Saturday without so much as a wobble.\n <\/p>\n

\n

Competing at Skate America, the 17-year-old’s historic free skate secured him the gold medal in his senior Grand Prix debut as he became the youngest men’s champion in the event’s history.\n <\/p>\n

\n

Malinin had become the first person ever to complete a quadruple axel in competition last month during the US International Figure Skating Classic, a lower-level event.\n <\/p>\n

\n

But still, he was unsure whether to incorporate figure skating’s most difficult move into his free skate routine at Skate America.\n <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis morning I wasn’t really sure if I would attempt it or not,\u201d Malinin told NBC afterwards. \u201cBut I think that it came over my mind that everyone’s watching, I have to go for this and I went for it and I landed it. I’m still in shock.\n <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe whole building was screaming for at least a couple of seconds after that, I didn’t even know if the music was still playing.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n

Even some of the sport’s most decorated stars have been unable to land a quadruple axel for it requires four-and-a-half revolutions in the air, turning from a forward-facing take off to a backward-facing landing. For 44 years, the jump had been locked at a triple.\n <\/p>\n

\n

Double Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu said before the 2022 Beijing Olympics that landing a quadruple axel was his biggest motivation but when he attempted it at the Games, he slightly under-rotated and fell.\n <\/p>\n

\n

Meanwhile, reigning Olympic champion Nathan Chen has successfully landed every other type of quadruple jump except for the axel.\n <\/p>\n

\n

And so, when Malinin \u2013 the junior world champion \u2013 landed a jump that had eluded so many before him, it marked a remarkable moment in figure skating history.\n <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI was in shock, I didn’t know I just did that!\u201d he added. \u201cI’m impressed with myself that I was able to pull that off. Even now, I’m still lost for words. I don’t know what to say about that. I didn’t know I could do that.\u201d\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
